I am cleaning sealing and finishing 15k sqft at a commercial gut and remodel. I am getting a decent price but the work environment has especialy sucked . Here is my ten reasons that new construction work can really suck.
1. The floor you are there to work on hasnt even been layed yet.
2. they needed it done yesterday.
3. there is an unwritten clause that says the architect is the grand messiah of the jobsite, which often includes making un achievable promises to the customer and blaming the work crew for their short comings and miscalculations.
4. The general contractor who doesent sign your paycheck wants to boss you around, and run around in a frenzy bitching about running behind even though his crew had five months to complete the project and didnt do shyt for the first 3 and a half months.
5. having 5 other tradesmen trying to work around you.
6. No running water.
7. the electricions cutting the power on and off while you are trying to scrub with the 175
8. trying to tell the landscapers who dont speak english they cant walk on your floor , and being forced to guard your wet waxed floor like the north korea south korea border.
9. cleaning up chew spit bottles and cigarette butts off the indoor floor.
10.listening to all the union workers complain because they have to do some work, and getting talked to like a lower life form because your a janitor.
But hopefully when that check shows up all will be forgave and forgotten till the next new construction job strikes again!
